   I guess it's not a bad resource, though like a lot of these sites that   
   just index third-party resources, it is selectively ignorant of certain   
   providers' offerings.  In the case of Dusty Docs, it seems largely to   
   ignore Ancestry, even in cases where it has the only online transcripts   
   for a particular area.  It's clearly not the case that they have a   
   policy of only including free sources as FindMyPast is included in some   
   cases.   
      
   In any case, it doesn't list anything interesting for Guernsey.
